Professionalising Physics Teachers in Doing Experimental Work
It is commonly agreed that experiments play a central role in teaching and learning physics. Recently, Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) has been introduced into science teaching in many countries, thus giving another boost for experiments.

Eight Investments That Work for Physical Activity [PDF]
Background: The International Society for Physical Activity and Health (ISPAH) is a leading global organization working to advance research, policy, and practice to promote physical activity. Given the expanding evidence base on interventions to promote physical activity, it was timely to review and update a major ISPAH advocacy document—Investments ...

Exploring the pre-instruction gender gap in physics.
There is a substantial body of work in physics education looking at gender disparities in physics. Recent work has linked gender disparities in college physics course performance to disparities in high school physics preparation, but to our knowledge ...

Experimental verification of the work fluctuation-dissipation relation for information-to-work conversion [PDF]
We study experimentally work fluctuations in a Szilard engine that extracts work from information encoded as the occupancy of an electron level in a semiconductor quantum dot. We show that as the average work extracted per bit of information increases towards the Landauer limit $k_BT \ln 2$, the work fluctuations decrease in accordance with the work ...

Exploring quasiprobability approach to quantum work in the presence of initial coherence: Advantages of the Margenau-Hill distribution [PDF]
In quantum thermodynamics, the two-projective-measurement (TPM) scheme provides a successful description of stochastic work only in the absence of initial quantum coherence. Extending the quantum work distribution to quasiprobability is a general approach to characterize work fluctuation in the presence of initial coherence.
